Question 6119

You are driving on a road section through a built-up area (travesía); the sun has already set and the road is sufficiently lit. Which lights must you turn on?

  1. None, since the road is sufficiently lit.
  2. Only the position lights.
  3. The position lights and the low beams.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The position lights and the low beams.

From sunset onward, you must use lights, even if the road section through the built-up area (travesía) has good streetlights. Position lights alone are not enough for driving, so you must also turn on your low beams. In the image, the car ahead is driving through the town with its lights on.
